Beef and Mashed Potato Pie
Inspired by the classic shepherd’s pie, but with ground beef and double the mashed potatoes. So that should make things pretty interesting. Plus, we’ve also added Cheddar and parmesan, so you won’t miss any cheese in this recipe. It may take an hour and a half to make it, but you’ll enjoy it, no doubt about it.
